I just got into safety razor shaving because I like doing things in a way that takes more skill, and got tired of my wife using my razors to shave and not changing the dull heads out.
My overall inpression of the razor is very positive, I will list out the pros and cons under this. I am using Astra Premium Platinum blades with the razor.
Pros:
1. Balance is toward the head of the razor, I didn't like it at first but once I got familiar with it the balance actually gives pretty good control.
2. I have not cut myself yet due to the designed placement of the razor (with the exception of cutting off raised skin bumps).
3. The handle doesn't slip in your hand unless you have shaving cream on your hand.
4. The space under the blade has enough room for at least 2 swipes before needing to rinse it out.
5. The chrome finish rinses off really easy but dried shaving cream can be hard to get off.
Cons:
1. The cutting angle is very narrow, if you are off by just a little you will drag the blade or head over the hair, or just be scraping shaving cream off with the comb. It took me 7 shaves to get used to the proper angle, but once I did it glides over the skin and takes all the hair with it smoothly.
2. When changing the blade the curve it puts on it causes the blade to get hung on the bottom of the threads or pinched on the guide pins, it just takes a little bit of a pry to get it out. On the flip side of that the blade does not move at all in the head.
3. It takes a little pressure to get a close shave in my experiance but less then a cartridge razor, especially after reading multiple guides to safety razor shaving that state you shouldn't need to apply any pressure, but I am still learning the razor.
Conclusion, I highley recommend this razor for beginners, it is VERY hard to cut yourself and inexpensive for the quality.
